The fact that a gas meter is necessary, there is no doubt. It allows you to pay objective amounts corresponding to the cubes spent. And also makes it possible and even stimulates to save, rationally use this type of natural fuel.
When choosing a device, it is necessary to take into account many technical indicators:
The total number of gas appliances in the apartment and the amount of gas consumed per 1 h. To do this, you need to know the consumption of each unit:
1 m³/h of gas is required for the operation of a 4-comfortable gas stove;
the gas column consumes about 1.5 m³/h.
Summing up the consumption, you can choose a meter. Its permeability is always indicated in the passport of the device.

Equipped with an additional function – thermal correction. The price of gas meters with such capabilities increases significantly.
About such a device should be said separately. There are optimal conditions for each gas appliance, under which it functions as correctly as possible. Even if the meter is in constant permissible temperature conditions, it should be borne in mind that in winter the gas is cold and dense, in summer – warm and liquefied. Readings of the device may fluctuate in the direction of both increase and decrease.
The presence of an automatic heat correction system in the meter saves the user from the need to multiply the spent cubes by an additional coefficient.
Everyone benefits from the presence of a metering device for used gas. The consumer can calculate the budget, independently choose the degree of heating. Organizations have the ability to plan and track the consumption of this natural fuel. And the bowels of the Earth, giving us this priceless source of heat, contemplate a prudent attitude towards them.
